Treehugger Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 ...a QB has called himself "elite" in preseason, had an up-and-down regular season, lit it up in the play-offs and gone on to win the Big Dance and Superbowl MVP. How many QBs call themselves "elite" next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I was just saying this last night to my sister and her fiance. If I'm a mediocre QB in the NFL, I'm finding a microphone ASAP and declaring myself elite! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think with the Ravens, it was more psychological. The offense hasn't had a voice for a long time. All of the identity of this team came from the Defense. Even last year, they won a playoff game and Ed Reed said it had nothing to do with Flacco. So, I feel it was a strategic move to swing the tide of the team. And it seems to have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think Flacco is a good QB..Im sure a lot of teams would love to have him instead of their current QB. He is a lot like Eli. Eli is better, but its a fair comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli is better, but its a fair comparison. Yeah I agree. His path is very similar to Eli's. Doubt from the media and their fanbase, inconsistent performances, but stellar postseason play beating other "elite" quarterbacks. I'll give Flacco credit he played great. I never thought much of him and I didn't like the complaining about respect and recognition but he's well deserving of it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bitching and moaning about the Super Bowl being outdoors is just fucking being a pussy. Apparently, he'd prefer Domes with no power in them...because, hey, it's warm and eliminates the weather, which is a part of football all season. I can't respect Joe Fucko.

The funny thing is, I dont think I've seen a single article or a player support the idea of the outdoor Superbowl. So far the only thing I've heard about it is most of the owners and the Commish are going to watch and see what happens and more then likely are going to look for an excuse to never have another outdoors SB in a cold weather state. The only reason NY got one was because it through a billion dollars at a new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God created football to be played outdoors in the elements. If the Giants changed to a dome team for inclement weather I would become a Buffalo Bills fan...

Agreed, I wouldn't switch teams but the only way I'd want a retractable roof is if there was a legal document stating it would never be shut for a football game. and about viewership: Sunday's Super Bowl was the most viewed show in U.S. television history, according to Nielsen figures provided by CBS. A total audience of 164.1 milllion saw the Ravens victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The average audience for Sunday's game was 108.4 million viewers, which was third largest average audience behind the last two Super Bowls. Total viewership is generally considered the benchmark figure. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-02-04/entertainment/bal-super-bowl-most-watched-tv-show-ever-20130204_1_total-viewers-audience-nielsen-figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't suggesting a dome stadium (I hate domes).. but as an event venue (I worked an event space company) you'd need to be protected from the elements in case of concerts etc...

The best plan was to have the Jets build that West Side Stadium with the retractable dome and hotels and all that bullshit for events. How great would it be to mock Jets fans about their dome!!!

I dunno about that, either. One of the best concerts I've ever been to was Bruce Springsteen at the Meadowlands in torrential downpours. It was awesome! Wouldn't have been nearly as cool if it was in a stuffy dome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
